61. what about this proposal:
Robert Stevens ,   - US   (01.03.08)
Really disengage, thus let egypt and gaza exchange whatever/whomever they want, but START TREATING GAZA AS AN ENEMY and taking action against gaza on that basis, instead of trying to save them from themselves.

And what about the 'unclean' women. Lucky them, eh? As for the Royal Family, who know, who cares they're inbred - bit like orthodox jews come to think of it - and perhaps they had a choice whether or not they wanted their genitalia mutilated.

You are talking about very religious aspects. The wig is for modesty, it is not meant to mutilate. It is also an indication that the woman is married. The "unclean" bit is slightly more complicated. Since Jews are not supposed to touch or come into contact with blood, there are a series of precautions. And I wouldn't say it was meant for men to control women, but rather the other way around. Given that a man cannot approach his wife when she is "unclean", but has to wait until she visits the ritual bath (mikveh) to purify herself, there is no reason for the "headache", if you get my drift. Again, the divorce you are talking about applies only in religious courts (same as in Italy or Ireland, I presume). Contrary to popular believe, Israelis can get divorced in civil courts. If you think orthodox Jews are inbred, what do you make of most of the Arab world, where it is customary for first-cousins to marry? Again, circumcision is not mutilation. It has even been proven to prevent cervical malignancies in women married to circumcised men.
